Got a pup who loves to swim? Maybe she's a mer-dog! Let her dress the part in a sparkly mermaid dog costume, $22-$31 at Muttropolis.

Giddyap, pup! If your dog doesn't dig wearing a hat or restricting costume, a headless horseman dog rider, $24.99 at Spirit Halloween, could be just the thing.

He might be dressed as a plant-eater, but he still loves his meaty treats. And you'll be happy to hand out some goodies to your dog when he's in a darling stegosaurus costume, $34.95 at Animal Planet. Also available at Party City and Amazon.com.

Looking for a costume your canine can carry off year after year? You can't argue with a classic, and that's just what this Martha Stewart pumpkin costume, $19.99-$21.99 at Petsmart, is.
